I'm on it 2-3 times per week - walking, running, biking.... today there is a lot of water right before the Haynes Bridge underpass. I was also checking out the southern access to Mansell Road. Does anybody know why its closed off? Lots of debris on the path too. Went from Kimball Bridge to the Mansell Underpass - slick with leaves and mud if you're biking.

The Greenway access point for the Alpharetta segment along Big Creek is located in Rock Mill Park. Rock Mill Park is a passive park and has attractive photo backdrops and picnic pavilions. Big Creek is more visible along this Alpharetta stretch of the Greenway than along the other segments. Fortunately, benches were placed at some of the spots where the stream is accessible. The river is clean. There are however storm water sewers along the route. Some tanks are rather large and vented. When the wind is just right, you may get a whiff of sewer gas.

I live near the Greenway and use it quite often. Shared purpose park. Flat, straight, long. Early morning you'll find deer and turkeys. minor issue with road bikes moving at a pace that endangers families and dog walkers. But that is to be expected with a non-controller shared purpose facility. at the right time of the day it's great, at the wrong time it is worse than running down GA 400

It's a long wide paved path. Good for walking, running, rollerblading, or biking.

Beautiful at dusk. Enjoy the boardwalks. Sometimes very crowded with bicycles and runners but normally everyone is very alert. Good for dogs. Great place for quiet contemplation. Goes under and over several highways but this has never bothered me. Best place to get on trail is Fowler Park since it stays open late. Good skateboarding at Fowler Park, too.
